    rotated tires changed oil threw out the old air freshener.
    It's not the kind of oil that makes the difference.

    It is the AMOUNT!

    Not enough causes a problem...

    One thing to consider about warranty is you don’t want Toyota to deny warranty engine work down the road because non-recommended oil is listed on your oil change receipts.

    It will be fine, 5W-30 will make no negative difference compared to 0W-20. My truck is now at 55K and 51K of those have not been with 0W-20 or anything 20 weight. I don’t even use synthetic. It will be perfectly fine.

    You are supposed to argue stubbornly about the unfixable damage already done ... or "part it out!". Have some fun!

    Just mix 0w-20 with 20w-50 dino oil and you get a 5w-30 blend ;) 2GR just eats it up.

    Ya’ll should run F1 oil. Look it up. It ain’t your father’s 0w-20.

    It is nothing more than a matter of me having not observed anything proving synthetic is actually a better choice, that’s all.

    Conventional engine oil, transfer case and diff gear oils. All is well and I don’t baby the truck in any way.

    When I drain it, it still comes out looking like oil.
